I'm thinking it may be a bit of both problems. I wont get a chance to work on the car again until mid-next week. I am going to replace the fuel filter. Someone suggested filling the filter with Marvel Mystery Oil... what would be my BEST choice for reconditioning the seals just in case that is a problem? I ONLY have b20 available where I live, are there any after market options other than MMO?
The plan is:
1. fuel filter with some sort of seal conditioner
2. glow plug check/replace on at least the first 3 cylyinders.

Later I KNOW it will need all glow plugs, and prob injector service on all 6 injectors.

Funny, had I known Bio-Fuel would have helped the car I would have had the prior owner filling up with B20 all the time. I figured it would have done more harm than good with the car being as old as it was.
